Objective: To investigate the embryonic and/or endometrial molecular mechanisms underlying the antiimplantation effect of interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1ra).Design: Controlled experiment.Setting: Animal facilities at Stanford University and laboratories of the Institute Valenciano de Infertilidad and the University of Sydney.Animal(s): Twelve-week-old B6C3F-1 female mice.Intervention(s): Intraperitoneal injections of recombinant human IL-1ra during the periimplantation period.Main Outcome Measure(s): Implantation sites, embryonic morphology, and viability. Polymerase chain reaction and immunohistochemistry for integrins and extracellular matrices and transmission electron microscopy of Endometrium in IL-1ra-treated versus control animals.Result(s): Pregnancy rates in control and IL-1ra-injected animals were 60% and 13%, respectively. At day 8 of pregnancy, Bushing of uteri obtained from the treated group resulted in 32 blastocysts. Six pseudopregnant animals received IL-1ra-treated blastocysts (left horn) and control blastocysts (fight horn), resulting in one pregnancy, with two embryos and one embryo in the left and right horns, respectively. At day 4 of pregnancy, IL-1ra down-regulated alpha 4 mRNA with use of the polymerase chain reaction. Immunohistochemistry showed a decrease of alpha 4, alpha v, and beta 3, and transmission electron microscopy revealed inhibition of transformation of the plasma membrane,Conclusion(s): Impairment of embryonic adhesion with IL-1ra is mediated through a direct effect on transformation of the epithelial plasma membrane at the time of implantation as a result of down-regulation of alpha 4, alpha v, and beta 3.
